Careful
The farmer's wife stopped at the drug store to have two prescriptions re-filled, and she cautioned the druggist when she gave him the order:
"Now you be shore and mark plain on them bottles just exactly which is for my husband, and which'is for the horse. I don't want nothing to happen to that horse until the plowin' season's over."
Choice
The rich man has his motor car His country and his town estate, He smokes a fifty-cent cigar And jeers at fate.
He frivols through the live long day He knows not Poverty, her pinch, His lot seems light, his heart seems gayHe has a cinch.
Yet though my lamp burns low and dim Though I must slave for livelihood, Think you that f would change with him? YOU BET I WOULD!
-Franklin P. Adams.

WHAT IS MODERhI CIVILIZATION?
I returned from a trip around the world with a lively appreciation of the accident of birth that made America my vineyard, not so much for material advantage as for the blessings of comparative freedom. Contact with the Old World, even as fleeting as that offered by the fourmonth tour, gives the American an astonishing new comprehension of the glib phrase "modern civilization."
One comes to know that the millenium is not just around the corner but most of the world, in point of territory, and also population, is primitive-nearly unchanged during the centuries that have witnessed the rise of the few great, progressive, free, grand nations. Indeed, one comes poignantly to understand that the savior of the world, in a material sense at least, is not yet come.
The yawning divisions of civilization, through ignorance, egotistic provincialism, crazed caste, class, clan, tribe and group, particularly the nationalistic and religious fanaticism, grind and clash on every side, and the rarest elements are intelligent toleration and a spirit of human brotherhood.
On the inexpressibly beautiful, wonderful, bounteous terrestial sphere, and on the blue green waters that reflect the rainbow, the fashing dolphin in flight, the moon and stars by night, and the overhanging island palms and rocks, by day, "only man is vile."

Absent Minded
The absent-minded Professor's wife said to him: "A truck just ran over your hat."
And the absent-minded Professor looked mildly interested, and inquired: "Was I wearing it?"
